I meet Kathy's father when we were in mid-high school and soon had a big time crush on him. Unlike my father, Dave was easy to talk to, didn't talk down to me and, best of all, understood our ups and downs as teenage girls. He was so cool, even being a divorced, single parent.
Kathy and I went off to college a year after we graduated. At first I wasn't at all homesick, and didn't look forward to the drive to the other side of the state. Along about the end of January, I got a letter from my parents saying how they had decided to start a new life in Arizona and, basically, wished me good luck, leaving a forwarding address for a "good bye".
I was never really all that close to my parents, as you may have guessed, but the news devastated me. I got into my dark blue Mustang and took off, not caring where I went or if I ever got there. The miles of the interstate rolled by as my mind tried to make any sense out of what had just happened. The first time I paid any attention to where I was, the sign stating this was my town's exit... I knew where I had to go!
Dave was furious about what my parents had done and, in the end, it was I who had to calm him down. Then he did something I had never seen a man do: He broke down and cried.
I pulled him close to me and felt a tingling feeling run through my body. My mind shrieked out that, here was the man who had been my family more than my own mother and father, and here was the man I had once wanted so bad. I pulled him close to me, realizing that I wanted him more than anything else at the time.
Cupping his face in my hands, I looked deep into his eyes then bent forward and kissed him. No earthshaking kiss was this first one. As I pulled back I saw his eyes were big with surprise. "Sorry, I wanted to do that years ago," I whispered, "I had to."
A weak smile spread over his face. "Well, I guess we both are sorry then."
"You noticed me?" I asked with a puzzled look.
"How could I not notice. What, with those damn skimpy bathing suits and all?"
I put my arms around him, pulling him close to me. "Kinda cold for a bathing suit, don't ya think?"
His hands ran down over my hips, down to the back of my thighs and back up, resting on my butt. "I'm sure we can figure something out, don't you?"
I had to smile as he took my hand, leading me down the hall way to the room I had thought of so much.
The room was dark except for the little light let in from the yard light. I looked at the bed, took a deep breath and turned to this man over twice my age, instantly finding myself in his arms. All my cares evaporated as he pulled me so close that I couldn't tell if the strong thumping on my breasts was his heartbeat or mine.
Slowly he pushed his left hand through my long, auburn hair, our eyes locked into the other's, trying to see if the other would back away at the last minute. I closed my eyes as his hand wrapped around the back of my head, pulling my lips steadily to his.
Now, this was more my idea of a kiss. This time it was my eyes opening wide with surprise as I found his kiss hot, demanding and so full of passion that a thrilling shiver went through my body. My hands touched the back of his head, playing in his jet black hair as I tried to pull him even closer.
His hands moved down my back, resting at the bottom of my butt, then pulled my body so close to his that there was not doubt in my mind that he was either a man, or a very excited man. ""I want you," I moaned as our lips parted. "God, I want you so bad."
